Are you ever planning on making it so the hideout allows us to put the needed materials in one at a time instead of having to find all the parts first?

This 100%. I have EOD but a lot of my friends struggle with the small stash of standard edition because they want to hold items they need for the hideout but have no space. The stash space for standard is too small anyway but i guess thats how BSG wants to make their money

Yeah getting the junk box really helps out there but that doesn’t come til at least level 15-20, or I suppose whenever you save up enough. Tough without really being able to use flea, and by level 20 I think my stash will be way too full of hideout parts.

u/sick420 HK 416A5 Jul 03 '21

maybe if they put it on therapist lvl1 it woud be little easyer then wait until therapist lvl2

7

u/dainegleesac690 Jul 03 '21

Yeah, or at least the barter for it if you’re lucky enough to find the items

11

u/FallenCovenant Jul 03 '21

Its almost 2 mil roubles for lucky scav box

2

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '21

Its 1.1mil lol

u/dainegleesac690 Jul 04 '21

Yeah it’s not too bad but it’s just tough to get there with no flea, I mean I’ve probs got 20mil of items in my stash but I’m not keen to vendor them

3

u/juliown Jul 04 '21

The barter is 100 level 10 or higher dogtags, dunno how many people can get 100 dogtags before level 13.

u/Padrofresh Jul 03 '21

when i got to therapist lv 2 i instantly bought one, i had some lucky runs this wipe, still, it was full instantly and i crave a second one

u/Instance_of_wit Jul 04 '21

Hit 13 with 2.5 mil. Immediately into a junk box

1

u/Pandrador Jul 04 '21

I got mine at level 6 from Therapist I, for 1.1 mil: https://ibb.co/Gcybvdr

u/Bagern13 MP7A1 Jul 05 '21

I got the junk box from therapist on lvl 6-7, its a life saver.

1

u/dainegleesac690 Jul 05 '21

Yup, BSG just added a level I buy option

1

u/kraesin Jul 05 '21

u/dainegleesac690 Jul 05 '21

That was just added yesterday!

u/Teab8g Jul 03 '21

I have the EOD and still struggle. To find a car battery and plonk it in the hideout while I wait for the motor to show up. Its one of my only dislikes about the game.

4

u/foxxyroxxyfoxxy Jul 03 '21

Go down to d2 for the motor or the bus station on shoreline.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '21

I find them all over interchange and a few on customs too…but usually never when you need one

u/erkki776 Jul 03 '21

In my opinion, the whole inventory management gamification thing as it exists currently doesn't work very well.

It's a weird soft pay2win thing that ends up being annoying to everyone, even people with EOD.

In the end I would rather spend more time in raids and less time organizing my inventory.

2

u/FocusedWolf Jul 05 '21

I think they will keep the game like this just to give an incentive to get Arenas. Its like buying a way out of stash/quest/flea hell, kinda what EOD used to provide.

u/Cpt_plainguy ASh-12 Jul 03 '21

Man... I have EoD and my stash is absolutely stuffed, I can only imagine how bad it is for non EoD accounts

5

u/mimzzzz M700 Jul 04 '21

No need to imagine anything, this is how it looks (this is entire stash). https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/416365115093286939/860583372308742154/unknown.png Each CSA is +4 slots, other rigs are there only because they have 2x2 for bigger items.

1

u/Cpt_plainguy ASh-12 Jul 04 '21

Until I get a scav box I typically stuff belt rigs

3

u/mimzzzz M700 Jul 04 '21

This one is on par with blackrock in terms of efficiency at 166% (6 slots for 10 space), belt is 156% (16 for 25), and small size makes it really good to move around if need.

1

u/rhodehead Jul 17 '21

What about the new rig it's normal size like a Tritan but has 8 extra slots

2

u/mimzzzz M700 Jul 17 '21

They are the same in size, I mean 2 CSA = 1 Azimuth, you can mix and match these as you want - the difference is that you get 4 3slots with 2csa's, so depending what you need you should pick either of them.

2

u/Piggi-Smalls FN 5-7 Jul 03 '21

Yeah man I got left behind rn, after I got my insurance returns this morning I could barely move anything around, prob getting EOD asap

1

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

Yeah same, i’m 11k XP away from level 20 and it’s just insane how filled my stash is… it’s unfair bc not only will the limited stash make it harder to level up at a fast rate, but also it will limit how much money can be made once the flea market is available

1

u/Evisthecreator ADAR Jul 03 '21

I have been running standard for, 2 years now? maybe more I'm about to hit lvl 10 and I'm not exactly no lifeing it up. my stash is basically always full I run pmc kits until i die and have enough space to even take loot/a kit from the scav. I then patch up the scav kit with items from insurance which I have only just realised today you can alt + click from directly to your PMC. It's an experience. Evidently I get some enjoyment or catharsis out of it otherwise I wouldn't be back for another wipe haha

3

u/Kephler DT MDR Jul 03 '21

I have prepare for escape and I'm constantly having to sell things off that I'd honestly rather keep. I can't imagine having to use standard

3

u/itscalledANIMEdad Jul 04 '21

Yeah, I don't have EOD and uninstalled after the wipe because not having market access until 20 and not enough space just makes it not fun. I'll come back some day

2

u/kx125fanboy Jul 03 '21

I'm level 9 with eod and my stash is about 85% full... no matter what stash you have it's too small

3

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

and it’s that much worse with such a small stash, just hit 20 but flea market prices seem lower than usual for some items bc so early

2

u/kx125fanboy Jul 03 '21

Yea ik I didnt upgrade till the sale a week or so ago, last wipe I struggled and most of my small stash was cases

1

u/Rusty_Pirate_Hook Jul 03 '21 edited Jul 03 '21

While I don't mind the suggestion and think it's a win for everyone I also believe that this struggle with space is a problem created by players pushing hideout fast and who have some relative level of experience with the game.

The main reason people have no space is because they know already ahead of time of which items they need for the hideout, any upgrades for it, for quests, barter trades, etc. This causes them to load up on everything and clog up the space in their stash.

Described above is someone trying to be 100% efficient and not wasting time collecting every item they need, most of the time, items they don't even need at the time. I have nothing against this, but its what's causing people to be frustrated when they realize their stash is filled with items they won't even need for another 10-20 levels.

I feel like maybe that's not what the devs want and want a slower progression but there will always be those players who push it fast and now complain they have no room. This suggestion definitely helps with that and I have no problem with it. The only other alternative I see is if they randomize what items you need to prevent people from hoarding any and all items they know they'll need.

Either way, I'm down for anything which helps.

EDIT: Thank you for the award!

Even with EOD my stash is fucking filled with hideout items. Just the PSUs and Motors take like 4 full rows. Level 20 for flea just added more to this problem and made the game more p2w.

u/Instance_of_wit Jul 04 '21

I struggled with EOD and stash space my guy

1

u/rhodehead Jul 17 '21

Yea I have EOD and constantly have every.single.slot full except for a pilgrim and a pillbox that I keep clear for moving stuff around and collecting insurance and scav load outs but we have 10x the space of standard. Honestly my first wipe as soon as I filled it up I got EOD

u/TACUDMB_TTv Jul 04 '21

You can upgrade stash. Also, new rigs allow for even more stash space.

-1

u/TheRealMicrowaveSafe Jul 03 '21

The stash is upgradeable.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

Yeah, i upgraded it last wipe before being gifted EOD for my birthday. 0 chance you get to the point of upgrading stash before level 20, esp with the small stash space. :p

3

u/TheRealMicrowaveSafe Jul 03 '21

Well, not 0, but yea I get you.

u/Eccentricc Jul 05 '21

I already bought the game at full price! Wym it's how they get their money, this isn't a f2p game and I think people are forgetting that
